The Claimant shall bear all costs associated with any improperly filed action, including BlackRoad's attorney's fees. 12.2 BLACKROAD TECHNICAL REVIEW PANEL. (a) If the dispute involves technical matters (including but not limited to: code ownership, contribution attribution, agent behavior, system architecture, API usage, deployment configurations, or intellectual property boundaries), the dispute shall first be submitted to the BlackRoad Technical Review Panel ("BTRP"). (b) The BTRP shall consist of three (3) members: - One (1) appointed by BlackRoad OS, Inc. (who shall serve as Chair); - One (1) appointed by the Claimant; and - One (1) mutually agreed upon by both parties. If the parties cannot agree on the third member within fifteen (15) days, BlackRoad OS, Inc. shall appoint the third member from a pool of qualified technology professionals.

(e) The Technical Determination shall be PRESUMPTIVELY VALID in any subsequent arbitration or court proceeding. The burden of overcoming the Technical Determination shall rest on the party challenging it, who must demonstrate clear and convincing error. 12.3 MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION.

(d) COST ALLOCATION: - Each party shall bear its own costs during arbitration. - The LOSING PARTY shall pay: (i) all arbitration fees and administrative costs; (ii) the prevailing party's reasonable attorney's fees; (iii) all expert witness fees; (iv) all costs of the BTRP review if applicable; and (v) a procedural surcharge of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total award to compensate BlackRoad OS, Inc. for the disruption caused by the dispute. - If the Claimant's recovery is less than the amount of BlackRoad's last written settlement offer, the Claimant shall be deemed the losing party for purposes of cost allocation. (e) EXPEDITED PROCEEDINGS FOR IP INFRINGEMENT: - Claims involving copyright infringement, trademark infringement, or trade secret misappropriation shall proceed on an EXPEDITED basis with discovery limited to sixty (60) days. - BlackRoad OS, Inc. may seek EMERGENCY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF from the arbitrator within forty-eight (48) hours of filing, without the necessity of posting bond. - The arbitrator shall presume irreparable harm in cases of unauthorized copying, distribution, or use of BlackRoad's Software. 12.4 CLASS ACTION AND COLLECTIVE WAIVER. (a) ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.

(b) No arbitrator or court shall have authority to preside over any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding, or to consolidate claims of multiple parties.

(b) The Claimant may not disclose any aspect of the proceedings to any third party, media outlet, social media platform, or public forum without the express written consent of BlackRoad OS, Inc. Violation of this confidentiality provision shall result in liquidated damages of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000) per disclosure, in addition to any other remedies available. (c) BlackRoad OS, Inc. reserves the right to disclose the outcome of proceedings to the extent necessary to enforce the award or protect its intellectual property rights. 12.6 STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.
